We Try World Chase Tag - Is This The Craziest Sport You’ve Never Heard Of?

[@TimBissett]

Love the fact that your vids turn up on my commute. This is a great start to the day ( before my run).

[@runningchannel]

Great start to the day Tim! 👍

[@AndyTomin]

In order to change direction easily you have to be very aware and have a good core. Explosive power helps but awareness is key. Great video. Keep on running.

[@Steeplejackist]

Love the way you guys tackle everything that is thrown at you with a smile. Super Anna

[@runningchannel]

Ha! Thanks Dave. We LOVE a challenge on The Running Channel!! Any suggestions of what we could do next? 🤔

[@Steeplejackist]

As long as its not Rick in those short shorts then I'm fine. Couldn't sleep for days after that one 😢

[@wesleygonzales2049]

If I tried this i'd run face first into one of those monkey bars in under 20 sec.

[@ekamjotsingh1804]

@Smee Self The bars are padded, so it doesn't really hurt thaaat much. Still the athletes have to be in a perfect physical condition and ignore when they stumble and just keep running.

[@qwertyTRiG]

@@ekamjotsingh1804 The quad is made of metal and wood. The bars are not padded. (And it would be quite dangerous if they were: you don't want anything to move when you're jumping off it.)

[@ekamjotsingh1804]

@@qwertyTRiG Yeah mb this is already one year old. At that time I saw a comment from a lot of people who said, whereas the official World Chase Tag account simply replied "Doesn't hurt" that's why I thought the bars were padded. There was a time when they tried to use pads, but it unfortunately didn't work. I'm a freerunner myself so ik what you mean by it would be dangerous.

[@qwertyTRiG]

@@ekamjotsingh1804 Cool. As a freerunner, you probably know far more than I. I'm going to see it in person for the first time at the end of the month.

[@galeriestrasbourg2527]

Great effort Anna! I thought this was a recent video but noticed the date after. You should go back with the rest of the team and have a challenge there. Thanks for this video!

[@davewarman4208]

Well done to you for having a go, so when are you going to take them out for a half marathon 😉

[@andrewtricking]

They all have great stamina so most of them can probably do a marathon

[@nebadapeba2712]

What an inspiration! I hope Women like us could get our own league!

[@qwertyTRiG]

It's happened. One women's match is up on KZbin, and a bunch more have happened and should be uploaded to KZbin soon.

[@MrJermson]

Just like the games i played in a local park when i was still a kiddie!

[@runningchannel]

Yep. Us too!

[@xsutlox8146]

am i the only one who finds the thought of someone chasing me a bit terrifying😂 (well i commented a bit too soon)

[@runningchannel]

😂

[@FFVII7321]

Haha u r not only one🤣🤣🤣 If I was there I'm sure I'll keep screaming like a crazy one till the times out coz imagine being chase by something creepy that move fastly like In a horror movie. And even I manage to dogde all of their attack and they declare me as a winner🤣🤣..i'm sure I will die before able to get my prize coz had a heart attack.

[@shipoffulls]

This looks like a fun form of hiit. The studies showing 20 second bursts of exercise is best for cardio health. I guess our bodies learned from running away from predators.

[@hisokathejoker8556]

I feel so anxious when i watch this.. I feel like someone will bump their head while running... Btw great video :))

[@runningchannel]

Luckily no runners were harmed in the making of this video! Thanks for watching!

[@ichweinicht1858]

btw do u know that bungee gum has properties of both rubber and gum

[@daltonruns5221]

Nice job Anna!! That looks tough...I am guessing way harder in action than just watching. Way to give it a good effort!!

[@WuchtaArt]

I wouldnt say its the craziest, but it one of the most fun to watch.

[@albatrossboss4639]

I love wct! It's brill to watch

[@northernninjarunner5506]

Big Respect Anna 👊 See you in the action movies next 💪

[@runningchannel]

Haha!! Thanks 😂 I don’t think so!!

[@braulioalvarez5856]

This sport is resembling a child game very known in México to called Atrapadas. Only that it's an extreme level. Even so it looks very fun.

[@karatepanda1]

This looks like great fun! Did something similar during my mate's hen do a couple years back, except we hired out a kids soft foam playhouse and played tig with a group of 8 of us. I think my running helped there, especially as there were slower targets! Certainly less bruises than this mind!

[@runningchannel]

Glad you enjoyed the video :-)

[@TimBissett]

Love the fact that your vids turn up on my commute. This is a great start to the day ( before my run).

[@qwertyTRiG]

Some of the best evaders (e.g., Mark Bowles) stay low. Mark is a parkour athlete, and is perfectly capable of going high (he often does when he's chasing), but as an evader he almost always sticks to the floor, and it works for him.

[@benbell7275]

Anyone know what the name of the song in video is sampled from

[@simacca]

Brilliant sport I didn't know existed 🤔🤔 Will let my son know, definitely not for me 😂

[@runningchannel]

Haha! Yeh, it’s so so hard! There’s another competition coming to London in August if you want to check it out in real life

[@MrCol104]

Looks a tad dangerous to me. Watch your head, Anna! 🙈

[@runningchannel]

Lucky I’m short!! 😅 I think I needed knee pads though!

[@davidbreen7466]

Sliding under a dog never goes well when out for a run.

[@michaelross1464]

Never say never :)

[@miguellorenzo3609]

This sport is dope

[@martinchapman8873]

Extremely well done 😀🙌👏. At least you walk out on both feet. I think if I tried it I would need a ambulance on standby for a one way trip to A&E lol 🤣🤣🤪🤕🚑🏥

[@runningchannel]

Haha! Thanks Martin! Luckily we had the experts on hand to make sure we got it right 🙌

[@purplebee4912]

I would really be pleased if you meet caryl control Moller he is my favourite

[@qwertyTRiG]

Caryl's leap from the mountain to the bar of the tilted cube was amazing.

[@martinlavare1938]

Anna! You did an amazing job for just jumping in the quad. I feel like I would do well for 30 seconds and be completely exhausted the rest of the day.

[@runningchannel]

Ha! Thanks so much Martin! I tried my best! 😅

[@martinlavare1938]

A dream come true...

[@succyourmum8593]

pipe down

[@micahmidstar2577]

This is why take parkour classes

[@mikohayle]

This lot need to grow up

[@jimothyjimothy1]

They're having fun and getting a lot of exercise. Most are doing this for fun rather than for a living. I personally see no issue with it

[@drikussteenkamp6305]

squash

[@runningchannel]

Great shout!

[@chukabucka]

Are there any women that do this ???

[@runningchannel]

There are some women who do, yes, but not many! Ps, don't forget to hit 'Subscribe' and tap the bell icon so you get notified when we upload new videos about running - there's new stuff every week and it'd really help us out if you subscribed ☺️ (it is free after all! And you don't get much for free these days)

[@qwertyTRiG]

Ashlee in the USA is interesting because she's from a basketball background, not parkour. The vast majority of WCT athletes come from a parkour background, so the few exceptions stand out.

[@qwertyTRiG]

And there's now a women's league started. A French tournament is on KZbin; an American tournament has happened and will be coming to KZbin shortly.

[@densyp2793]

I am ready to chase plz someone call me 😄

[@TMM-N]

Why not men vs female

[@qwertyTRiG]

There aren't yet enough female players, so the competitions are mixed. Currently, no team has more than one female member, to my knowledge.
